That would be (1.8 / 10) * 100

= 0.18 * 100

= 18%  answer

Remark

This is a very interesting application of math question. Thanks for posting.

The tricky part is interpreting the 1.8 grams. Is it the dry matter? Or is 8.2 grams the dry matter? It turns out that the dry matter is just the 1.8 grams because dehydration means getting rid of the water in a sample.

Formula

% dry matter = (dry matter/ total mass of the sample)* 100%

Givens

dry matter = 1.8 grams

Total Mass of the Sample = 10 grams

Solve

Percent dry matter = (1.8/10) * 100%

Percent dry matter = 18%

A coin will be flipped repeatedly until the sequence TTH (tail/tail/head) comes up. Successive flips are independent, and the co
padilas [110]

Answer:

P = \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the value of p minimizes is shown below:-

We will assume the probability of coming heads be p

p(H) = p

p(T) = 1 - P

Now, H and T are only outcomes of flipping a coin

So,

P(TTH) = (1 - P) = (1 - P) (1 - P) P

= (1 + P^2 - 2 P) P

= P^3 - 2P^2 + P

In order to less N,TTH

we need to increase P(TTH)

The equation will be

\frac{d P(TTH)}{dP} = 0

3P^2 - 4P + 1 = 0

(3P - 1) (P - 1) = 0

P = 1 and 1 ÷ 3

For P(TTH) to be maximum

\frac{d^2 P(TTH)}{dP} < 0 for\ P\ critical\\\\\frac{d (3P^2 - 4P - 1)}{dP}

= 6P - 4

and

(6P - 4) is negative which is for

P = \frac{1}{3}

masya89 [10]

Answer:

A. Predict a dichotomous variable from continuous or dichotomous variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Logistic regression is used when you want to predict a dichotomous variable from continuous or dichotomous variables.

Mathematically, it is given by the expression;

Logistic regression y with x_{1}, x_{2}........x_{n}

Where;

y represents the dichotomous dependent variable.

x_{1}, x_{2}........x_{n} represents the predictable variables, which are categorical in nature such as alive or dead, win or lose, sick or healthy, pass or fail, etc.

Find the values of x and y that satisfy the equation.<br><br> 4x+2i=8+yi<br> x= <br> and y=
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The values of x and y that satisfy the equation are 2 and 2, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two complex numbers are identical if and only each pair of respective coefficients are identical on both sides. Then, we need to observe the following conditions:

Real component

4\cdot x = 8 (1)

Imaginary component

2 = y (2)

The solution of this system of equations is x = 2 and y = 2.

The values of x and y that satisfy the equation are 2 and 2, respectively.

Each airline passenger and his or her luggage must be checked to determine whether he or she is carrying weapons on to the airpl
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a

P_k  = 0.83

b

 N_{\mu} \approx  4 \ passengers

c

T_{\lambda} =  0.5 \ minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The average number of passengers that arrive per minute is \lambda = 10

The average number of check that can be carried out in one minute is \mu= 12

Generally the probability that a passenger will have to wait before being checked for weapons is mathematically represented as

        P_k  = \frac{\lambda }{ \mu }

=>    P_k  = \frac{10 }{ 12}

=>    P_k  = 0.83

Generally the number of passengers are waiting in line to enter the checkpoint is mathematically represented as

     N_{\mu} =  \frac{\lambda^2}{\mu (\mu -\lambda) }

=>  N_{\mu} =  \frac{10^2}{12 (12 -10) }

=>  N_{\mu} \approx  4 \ passengers

Generally the average time a passenger spend at the checkpoint is mathematically represented as

      T_{\lambda} = \frac{ \frac{\lambda}{(\mu - \lambda)} }{ \lambda}

=>   T_{\lambda} = \frac{ \frac{ 10}{(12 - 10)} }{10}

=>   T_{\lambda} =  0.5 \ minutes
